Pine-scented sludge

The second half of this story (the part you'll have read in the paper or e-edition) reminds me of spraying the bathroom after somebody uses it. KanPak is trying to address ongoing problems of smell created by waste in their food processing/packaging. It's apparently gotten much better. We haven't heard too many complaints here at the paper lately.

KanPak is an interesting place. They have grown and become a major employer here in Ark City, yet they seem relatively obscure. It's good too see their waste issue get settled with the city. Their folks don't seem to sit on boards or civic committees much. They do make some donations here and there, but they are not too visible and I'd bet about 75 percent of the town doesn't know what they do.

According to their Web site, KanPak is a leader in "aseptic technology" to create mixes for specialty drinks and foods. Here's their Web site. http://www.kanpak.us/ They are very hard to contact regarding stories or information from the paper. Maybe that will change ....
